22nd
Street Bridge​Monday, April
3 to Friday, April 7, crews will conduct form and rebar work on the southern
bridge deck and sidewalk. Crews will also continue removing the temporary
utility support structure.

The closure of 22nd

to 22nd Street between Iowa Street and Pennsylvania Avenue will
remain closed during the removal and replacement of the bridge. Detour
signage will be in place to direct vehicular and pedestrian traffic during the
closure.

San
Carlos Transit Center ProjectNight/Weekend Work

There is work scheduled on Saturday,
April 1, at the San Carlos Transit Center Project. Crews will backfill the
retaining wall and continue grading at the site.

Weekday Work

Monday, April 3 to Friday, April 7, crews will remove the retaining wall shoring and
continue parking lot improvements. Neighbors may experience construction noise and
traffic during this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. El Camino Real
traffic may also be reduced to one lane during construction activities. Work may be delayed due to adverse weather
conditions.

Some parking spaces in the Caltrain parking lot and
along the eastside of El Camino between Cherry and Arroyo have been permanently
removed as part of the project. Caltrain customers are encouraged to park at
the Belmont Caltrain Station during construction.

BackgroundThe San Carlos Multi-Modal Transit Center
Project (Transit Center) is located on the west side of the railroad corridor
at the site of the existing San Carlos Caltrain Station. The Transit Center
project consists of transforming the existing San Carlos Caltrain Station
parking lot into a multi-modal transit center that will better serve the
community by improving safety and accessibility between SamTrans fixed route
bus services, Caltrain commuter rail services, local shuttles, pedestrians and
bicyclists. For more information on the project, please visit www.samtrans.com/sctc.

Night/Weekend Work
As part of the Los Gatos Creek Bridge Project, there is
weekday night work expected to begin on Wednesday, April 12. Crews will be
installing sheet and cast-in-drilled-hole piles within the Caltrain
right-of-way. To limit the impact to railroad operations, these activities must
be conducted at night when there is limited or no train service.

Weekday
night work is expected to continue until May 12. Additional night work will be
required throughout the project.

During the
night work, neighbors will hear additional noises from heavy machinery and from
equipment backup alarms. In addition, generators will be used for night time
activities to power portable light towers. Caltrain will implement noise
mitigation measures for residents directly adjacent to the project site. We
apologize for any inconvenience these activities may cause.
​

Weekday
Work Monday, April 3 to Friday, April
7, crews will prepare for the installation of sheet and cast-in-drilled-hole
piles. Crews will also begin installation of the retaining wall structure.

BackgroundCaltrain, in cooperation with the
City of San Jose, is preparing to replace the railroad bridge crossing at
Los Gatos Creek in San Jose. The current bridge was built in 1935, and in order
to maintain safe rail operations and meet current seismic safety standards, the
bridge must be replaced. The project will also include installation of a tail
track south of the San Jose Diridon station. The tail track will provide
improved operations at the station and minimize system-wide delays.
Construction is expected to be complete in early 2018.

In order to maintain regular train service, some activities will be
conducted during nights and weekends, outside of normal train service hours.
Neighbors may experience construction noise and light during these times. We
apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For more information on the Los Gatos Creek Bridge Replacement Project,
please visit www.caltrain.com/losgatos.

Hotline at 650.508.7726 or email lgcbridge@caltrain.com.

Peninsula
Corridor Electrification Project

The Peninsula Corridor
Electrification Project (PCEP) is a key component of the Caltrain Modernization
program. The PCEP would electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco’s
4th and King Caltrain Station to approximately the Tamien Caltrain Station.

The primary purpose of the Project
is to improve Caltrain system performance, reduce long-term environmental
impact by reducing noise, improving regional air quality and reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. An electrified Caltrain system would better address
Peninsula commuters’ vision of increased service and improved travel times
in an environmentally friendly and reliable way. This also is
expected to help accommodate increase system ridership through improved system
operations.

Monday, April 3,
to Friday, April 7, crews will replace ties between the South San Francisco and
San Bruno stations. Caltrain uses several different on-track, self-propelled
machines to replace cross ties, and neighbors may experience construction noise
during this time. Crews will work as quietly as possible.
